Synopsis

The Teeth of Time and Other Poems, the sixth of John Ngong Kum Ngong’s poetic output, is a collection of 48 delectable and authoritative vignettes which perform the placere, movere, castigare, and docere functions of art. This collection, together with the other five published ones, all establish the author as one of Anglophone Cameroon’s leading poets. The poems, here, lash out at the multi-faceted politico-socio-economic ills that have bedevilled the poet-speaker’s society turning it into a moribund state. Valentine Nfon Tameh National Pedagogic Inspector, English
